No shit. When it came out, it was most commonly abbreviated simply as PS.

Guess you weren’t around when the system and the games came out.

No and nope. Guess you weren’t around when it came out.

I’m 42 years old and wrote DOS drivers for mice, joysticks, graphics and audio cards for hardware back in the day.

Oh yeah, check my comment history, I literally just dropped a modded port of Tomb Raider 1 for Debian Linux.

I’m old enough to have repaired three different original PlayStations in one night.

Riddle me this… How many screws hold together the optical assembly on an original PlayStation?

Be glad you already had mice then. I’m past 42, by the way. Probably older, if needed be. But 42 I can guarantee.

My DIY days happened a very long time ago, when parts meant capacitors, diodes, resistors and transistors. And the VCS was next gen.

But I can still remember them announcing the PSX in video-game magazines. Feels like yesterday.

As someone who was around when it was current, yes, everyone called it PSX.
